NOTE:  This NOT (necessarily) the correct size for a 1300 but gives you an idea of what they "really" cost.
As I said previously:  Take your leaking one to a shop and odds are good they'll have the correct size.

Depends on how they ship. I just received 2 throttle plunger diaphragms from Legend Motorcycles in the UK. Diaphragms were 18.96 x 2 and shipping was 4.78 via Royal Mail. I do know that if they ship by a courier, the cost to ship is through the roof.
Maybe you could coerce them into shipping Royal Mail  ???

Of all the places? Walmart ?

All I need is an OEM part, even if used, no good... for measurements.

I have a couple of old mechanical seal boxes (cardboard cylinders) from zed parts.  one has his only label stuck over the manufacturers. The other appears to have the original manufacturers part number of "V3 0158.70.N.C" and is described as '5/8" TYPE 70 CARB/CER/NITRILE' and also marked as "SEAL AND STATIONARY".

when I search that part number this shows up:  5/8" Bore Type 70 Mechanical Pump Seal - George Lodge and Sons Ltd (georgelodgedirect.co.uk)

I don't know how "E.C" differs from N.C (I think N.C is Nitrile + Carbon-ceramic?)

So I guess you need a 5/8" type 70 nitrile mech seal. Take a look at the "Size Code" 0158 in this spec sheet for dimensions:  www.georgelodgedirect.co.uk/downloads/ME...70.E.C/type%2070.pdf

zed_thirteen, Thanks Bud! Great job, wonderful forum here.
You're info sent me down the rabbit hole of searching the entire internet, corner to corner, top to bottom! 

I found additional info here , from zn1300.comWith this tidbit of info.."For comparison a US Seal Mfg PS1000 seal appears to be similar to the Kawasaki seal."

Which is exactly what Sir Scotch said earlier !

<edit>Wowzers, I've been chasing this since 0900, don't see a viable method to post a table here, so a screenshot will suffice.</edit>

Here's US Seal specs for the PS-1000. Not sure which one is best suited for our KZ's.
